The latest report from renowned journalist Romano reveals Arsenal's new stance on Nketiah's transfer. According to Romano, Arsenal's asking price for Nketiah has now increased to at least 35 million euros, and this price is also attached to the second transfer share clause. This high demand is the direct reason why Arsenal rejected Marseille's previous offer of 27 million euros.
Nketiah, a key player in Arsenal's squad, was not an absolute starter in last season's matches, but he still won the team's recognition with his outstanding performances. 25-year-old made 37 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions, including 13 starts, contributing 6 goals and 3 assists. Such statistical performances, combined with his young and promising potential, made Arsenal stick to their high-priced stance in transfer negotiations.
Marseille, for their part, have yet to be able to reach any agreement with Arsenal after facing high demands from them. Sources claim that Marseille may have started to consider looking for new reinforcement targets to deal with the impasse in Nketiah's transfer negotiations. However, for Arsenal, they do not seem to be in a hurry to sell Nketiah, but prefer to wait for an offer that meets their mental expectations to emerge.
In addition, Nketiah's current value is assessed at €30 million, which further proves Arsenal's strong position in transfer negotiations. With the ever-changing transfer market and the need to adjust the team's squad, Nketiah's future destination is still full of variables.
